Untifler, be cautious about using Template:IPA for Cyrillic text. I don't think all of the fonts specified in the template contain all of the letters (at least Gentium doesn't have letters beyond the Russian, that I know of). This could make someone's display worse instead of better.

The best solution would be to create another similar template, specifically for Cyrillic and that contains only fonts that have all the possible characters.

I've replaced the IPA template with Template:Unicode for now, as was suggested at Template talk:IPA. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs, blog) 02:26, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

I have a question: what are the "correct" Unicode code points for the characters that are specific to Chuvash, i.e. not in the standard Cyrillic/ Russian alphabet? Particularly the A/a and E/e with the caron or breve on top: is it supposed to be a caron or a breve? These look almost identical, particulary with small font sizes, but of course they're different code points (E + caron = U+011A, E + breve = U+04D6). Of course it's possible both are used...

(apologies for my signature; I haven't figured this thing out yet)

OK, I'm the above Mike Maxwell, and I've now created an account, so I can be legitimate :-).

[edit] Whether classification is true?

Here it is specified (Turkic_languages):

Turkic → Oghuric (or Hunnic) → Proto-Bulgar

I no speak english. Please correct it. PCode 17:36, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

I have corrected the classification order. --Hottenot
